Is Mark touring ?

Jean-Pierre said...

There are no tours as such at this writing, but Mark will perform at two Kerouac festivals in October, 2012. One's in Quebec City, and the other in Lowell, MA.

There is also a homage to Mark at the Blue Note in NYC on Mon May 21, featuring many guests, and Mark too will perform.

I missed Mark's birthday bash...didn't know it was happening. How did it get past me? Wasn't it announced via this blog?

Enjie said...

Tell us please - as soon as you can - the name of the venue in Lowell, MA. Lowell is a good place to get a number of Murphys to congregate.

Jean-Pierre said...

Yes, Mark's b-day
was announced via this blog. The next event is Mon May 21 at the Blue Note, NYC.

Jean-Pierre said...

Hi all,

We are looking to download the song "The way I was in L.A." from the Mark Murphy sings Nat King Cole and More.

It's not just about intellect. Mark's depth is recognized by acknowledging something that contemporary philosopher, Eckhart Tolle, once said, "There is only ONE purpose to life...and that is to awaken." That is exactly what Mark's amazing voice does...it awakens.

Mark, I have smiled, gasped and cried to your music for 30 + years. Please your precious soul. I have recently introduced you to my girlfriend. She loves you too! I have tried, in vain, to find a CD of "Bop for Kerouac." If anyone knows where a copy - if it exists - can be found, please advise.

Cha Cha said...

Every so often you can find used cd copies of "Bop for Kerouac" at Amazon.com. However, they may be costly.

I live in Lowell Mass. Biethplace o Jack Keroac it would be great if Mark could be here in October for the Lowell Celibrates Keroac Fest.

Please post any more 2012 appearances by Mark!

Cha Cha said...

A wonderful new post on Mark has been added to the Jazz Profiles blog. This can be found at: http://jazzprofiles.blogspot.com/.

Also, please go to the site for DownBeat Magazine and vote for Mark in its current Readers Poll. He more than deserves this honor, not just for his large body of work throughout the years, but as someone who is still literally making beautiful music, even in his 80s. You can find his name in both the Hall of Fame and Jazz Vocalist categories. The url for DownBeat is: http://www.downbeat.com/defaultl.asp?sect=news.

When is the annual tribute to Mark at Yoshi's in Oakland? Will he attend again this year?

Shelley said...

I live in Toronto and have gotten tickets to see Mark @ The Old Mill on October 1st. Now I find out I'm going to New York and will miss the show!

Will there be any concerts in NYC from Oct 1-11th? I tried to find a concert schedule online but nothing came up.

This is very disappointing and I'm sorry I'll miss him.

Thank you from a huge fan!

Shelley said...

I just saw the posting above mine listing his schedule. Ah well, hopefully Mark will be back in Toronto next year!

I wonder if Mark remembers his times in Manchester and Saturday nights at 'Club 43'in the early 60's.
How lucky I was to be there with Mark playing alongside many legends including Tubby Hayes,Ronnie Scot etc,etc.

I'm pleased to announce a brand-new recording from Mark Murphy, to be released worldwide in March, 2013 via the UK label Gearbox Records.

Featured will be a limited edition audiophile LP and digital download.

A 4-song EP, the recording was made in Cape May, New Jersey in November 2012. It features the master vocalist supported by pianist Alex Minasian, bassist Curtis Lundy, drummer Steve Williams, and a very special guest TBA.

Entitled "A Beautiful Friendship: Remembering Shirley Horn," this EP demonstrates that even into his ninth decade, Mark Murphy, described by Jamie Cullum as "the world's greatest living jazz singer" still has the goods.

So so sad to just have heard that Mark has cancelled his gig here in London due to ill health..was really looking forward to it.But more importantly, hoping that all is ok with you Mark and that you make a speedy recovery. We love you !

Just curious if anybody other than me is checking this blog periodically. If so, leave a message to say "hi!"

Hi to Mark from Johnathan Welling, personal event mgr for Marilyn King of King Sisters now passed upon Aug 7 at age 82. She always treasured seeing Mark at LA Jazz Bakery, remarking at the amazement of Mark's Showmanship and performance. Very rare for her to be moved to favorable comment espec from her wide pro experiences of Jazz and theatre. It was a privilege to do the LA scene parties after MM events. And Hi to Cha Cha as I just re-discovered MM Blog hiding in my Gmail 'Social' icon. Is there any present online listing of Mark's gigs? sirejohnla.com@gmail

Cha Cha said...

Hi Jonathan,

Mark is currently taking a hiatus from performing gigs. However, if this changes, I'll make sure info on any new gigs are posted here on the blog, as well as on Facebook, where there are currently quite a few Mark Murphy fan groups.

Two and a half years later I still can't believe I missed Mark Murphy's 2012 Toronto gig.

A hidden comment thread on a blog is surely not the best way to share news about Mark Murphy. (His website also seems to have vanished)
